I vow to start carrying this in my car in case the seating is stupid and offends my notion of hospitality.

Eat more often at fast casual establishments or even cook at home, instead of eating at the barrage of restaurants in LA that seemingly cost $70+ pp. Hopefully I can be a bit healthier this way. And if this strategy is able to “save” me some money too, put that towards more frequent fine dining experiences instead (N/Naka, Dialogue, etc.).

Don’t know why, but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that was “hemorrhoids.” Not saying that that applies to you, though. :wink:

I just need to not be too lazy to drive into the city for all the places that get so many mentions.

  • Sea Harbor
  • Brodard Chateau
  • Attari Sandwich Shop
  • Mariscos Jaliscos
  • Tire Shop Taqueria
  • Animal brunch
  • Verlaine
  • Broken Spanish
  • Irenia
  • Mh Zh

Restaurants I’ve never tried and would go to if I had la plata:

  • Spago
  • Dialogue
  • The Rogue Experience
  • The Bjork Album

Random resolutions:

  • Hire mobsters to suggest Night Market Sahm / Pasta Sisters / Howlin Rays / Coni’Seafood open their Westside locations ASAP
  • The more I think about it, the more I think that not drinking alcohol at restaurants anymore is a really good idea
  • Write a food zine
  • Buy a gd non-stick pan for eggs
  • Find Sergio

Ohmigod, I’m so not hip and wouldn’t have gotten the joke, if it weren’t for @aaqjr! :slight_smile:

How far do you live from Westwood? I’ve been a couple of times. I enjoyed the lamb but don’t think it’ll change your life (esp if you have to travel far).

I want to save up for N/Naka this year. :smiley: And I, like @attran99, want to be less lazy about driving places. And I already live in the city! ::sigh::
